body_scapes, N°1 | Source Realized

body_scapes is an ongoing fixed media project in which the music is created from sound captured on different areas of the body. Source Realized comes from noticing during meditation that my resting heart rate was abnormally fast. As I continued these sessions, I noticed I would begin to hum when I exhaled. When I first realized this was happening, I would shy away from it, but I soon understood it would be better to allow these moments to come through. As I did, the heart rate slowed, and the more and more I let this hum out, the more in tune with myself I felt.

Source Realized suggests there’s a voice inside us we may shy away from. Our true thoughts, feelings, and aspirations can be repressed, and we can begin to become numb to who we are as individuals. But letting it out, even in small doses over a long period, can start to heal us.
